Game Of Thrones prequel about Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros actively discussed at HBO

Quote

A new “Game of Thrones” prequel about Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros is being actively discussed at HBO, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

 

As the project is in its very early stages, no writer is currently attached, though sources say that the search is underway as HBO is keen to move forward and get it into development. Sources also say that there may be a feature component to the project, i.e. HBO and Warner Bros. would produce a feature film that would then lead into the potential series, though plans remain in flux at present.

 

The show would tell the story of how Aegon and his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, used their army and their three dragons to conquer six of the seven kingdoms on Westeros with the exception of Dorne. In doing so, Aegon I became the first king of Westeros, the first to sit on the Iron Throne, and the founder of the Targaryen Dynasty. Those events took place approximately 300 years prior to the events of “Game of Thrones.”

 

The move to expand the “Game of Thrones” world — and potentially tie in a film — is not surprising, as the show remains one of the most valuable pieces of IP in the Warner Bros. Discovery library. Legacy media companies have also been working for sometime on building interconnected film and TV universes around their biggest titles, with Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe being the biggest example. Warner Bros. Discovery is also currently working on a rebooted DC Universe under the guidance of James Gunn and Peter Safran.

A prequel series to the prequel series...?

It would be pretty rad to see Balerion the Black Dread in action.

This would be cool, but could we have something that is non-Targaryen focused please?
